From people who came through it
“I was right where you are two years ago. I remember when a heat pad that never leaves the sofa, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
kind_dusk · been through chronic pain“When doctors say the scans are normal and you still hurt, it's easy to doubt yourself. Don't. Pain is real even when it doesn't show up on a screen. Find one person who believes you, and hold onto the good weeks. I still have bad ones, but I've learned to plan around them. You will too. And if you can, get a buddy. Someone who gets it without you having to explain.”
Bright Bus · been through chronic pain“A note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. It was the side effects of the nerve tablets and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.”
Retired postman S 47 · been through chronic pain“I was right where you are a few years back. It was cancelling plans for the third time and I couldn't see past it. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
